Half-marathoners head to Woodbridge

If you're in the Woodbridge area today, keep an eye out for more than 6,000 runners coming your way.

The 22nd annual Southern California Half Marathon and 5K Race kicks off at 8 a.m. by the Lakeview Senior Center, and the festivities will continue for several hours.

Laguna Canyon Road is closed from Alton Parkway to Irvine Center Drive as well as Barranca Parkway from Jeffrey Road down to Discovery. Everywhere else along the course is a soft closure, which means there might be five- to 10-minute delays, but vehicles still can pass through when the runners are gone.

The event raises money for Woodbridge High School's athletic program and other nonprofits, race director George Varvas said.
